The Veredus Carbon Gel Absolute Fetlock Boots in Brown represent the next generation of elite leg protection, developed by Italy’s renowned jumping boot experts.
Redesigned from the ground up, these fetlock boots feature a fully reimagined anatomical shell that mirrors the natural shape of the horse’s limb - ensuring a secure, pressure-free fit without restricting movement.
The outer shell is constructed from advanced Bayer polyurethane, a material known for its strength, flexibility, and resistance to extreme temperatures. Beneath it lies a high-density insert made from anti-shock carbon and Nitrexgel - five times denser than the shell - providing superior impact absorption where it’s needed most.
Formed as a single piece with no glue or stitching, the shell and insert deliver an unmatched combination of durability, flexibility, and protection. The carbon and gel protection surface has been widened and extended compared to previous models, increasing coverage over critical areas.
A double ventilation system keeps your horse’s legs cool under pressure. Heat is drawn away from the skin through a layer of AEROX micro-perforated neoprene, then diffused through 3D mesh fabric and expelled via strategically placed air ducts for consistent airflow throughout the boot.
Whether training or competing, these boots are designed to help your horse perform at its best - protected, supported, and comfortable.
These boots are certified with the rigorous and authoritative procedures of Ricotest.
The test was carried out by subjecting the Carbon Gel Absolute to impact and abrasion tests simulating the impacts of the rear horseshoe on the flexor tendon area and of the adjacent horseshoe on the fetlock area.
THE IMPACT TEST
The impact test is used to verify the impact resistance and absorption capacity of the materials.
Two differently shaped tools were used for the impact test: a 60 ° V-wedge and a hemisphere. The applied energy was 25 and 50 joules, the same that is used in tests for motorcyclists' back protectors.
THE ABRASION TEST
The abrasion test was done by placing a portion of the shell on a sandpaper roll using the same type of test that is done on safety materials. To pass this test, the material loss must be less than 150 cubic mm. In the case of Carbon Gel Absolute, the volume loss was 29 cubic mm, five times less than the minimum requirement!
THE MATERIALS
The materials were also analysed from a chemical point of view, verifying the absence of potentially harmful compounds such as phthalates.
Quick release tipped elastic straps with a choice of four pre-set closure positions makes the boots extremely practical to put on and remove, and allow them to fit a range of different leg shapes.
The Veredus Carbon Gel Absolute Fetlock Boots are available in Brown, sizes Medium (Full) or Large (Extra Full).
